Sayulita: Surf, Art, and Bohemian Vibes
One of the most popular day trips from Kovay Gardens is a visit to Sayulita, a colorful surf town known for its relaxed energy and artistic spirit. Only about an hour away, Sayulita makes for a perfect day escape. Whether you’re catching waves with local surf instructors, exploring its artisan markets, or sipping fresh coconut water on the beach, Sayulita offers a quintessential taste of coastal Mexico.
Kovay Gardens Experiences often include guided walks through the town’s cobblestone streets, stopping at local galleries and boutique shops where artists create everything from hand-painted ceramics to woven textiles. It’s a cultural immersion that blends leisure with local storytelling.
Kovay Gardens Experiences San Pancho: A Cultural Retreat
Just north of Sayulita lies San Francisco—better known as San Pancho—a quieter, culturally rich town that’s becoming a favorite among eco-conscious travelers. Day trips to San Pancho with Kovay Gardens Experiences give guests a unique look into Nayarit’s commitment to community and sustainability.
Visit EntreAmigos, a local community center and library that doubles as a creative hub for residents and visitors alike. The Kovay team often arranges special workshops here, allowing guests to engage with local artisans and learn traditional skills like papel picado making or clay crafting.
End your day with a sunset stroll along San Pancho’s pristine beach, where you might spot sea turtles or catch a beachside music performance by local musicians.
Isla del Coral: Snorkeling and Serenity
For those seeking natural adventure, a day trip to Isla del Coral is a must. Located just off the coast near Rincón de Guayabitos, this protected island offers incredible snorkeling in crystal-clear waters teeming with colorful marine life. It’s one of Nayarit’s lesser-known gems, but with Kovay Gardens Experiences, guests enjoy exclusive access and guided eco-tours that emphasize sustainability and marine conservation.
Pack your swimwear, sunblock, and a spirit of adventure—your guide will take care of the rest, from transportation to refreshments on the boat ride over. For many visitors, swimming alongside tropical fish in a peaceful bay becomes a highlight of their entire stay.
Tepic and the Sierra del Nayar: A Glimpse into History
If you’re looking to explore deeper into the region’s history and indigenous roots, Kovay Gardens also offers full-day excursions to Tepic, Nayarit’s capital city, and into the Sierra del Nayar mountains. These trips offer a more immersive look at the traditions of the Wixárika (Huichol) people, one of Mexico’s most resilient indigenous communities.
Guests might visit artisan cooperatives where Huichol beadwork and yarn art are made, each piece telling a sacred story passed down through generations. A stop at the Regional Museum in Tepic offers further insight into Nayarit’s colonial and pre-Hispanic past.
Bucerías: Coastal Charm and Culinary Delights
A shorter day trip option is the coastal town of Bucerías, known for its laid-back vibe, art galleries, and incredible food scene. Stroll through the open-air market to sample local fruits and handmade goods, then take a cooking class with a local chef—another curated Kovay Gardens Experience that showcases the bold flavors of Nayarit cuisine.
From tacos al pastor to ceviche made with just-caught shrimp, Bucerías offers a sensory feast that food lovers won’t want to miss.
